Did you get all that from Freecycle?


In my neighborhood, we have "heavy trash" pickup once a month. I call it
"foraging night." In addition to a shop-vac, a recliner, and other goodies,
my prize is a WW2 jerry can. It's a military five-gallon gas can and is in
perfect shape. What makes this one so neat is the stencil on the bottom:

Well, I was asking about freecycle.org. But since you mentioned it,
FreeStuffAtTheCurb.yourtown.org is actually, to me, a better method of
exchange than freecycle. At least there's always plenty of stuff to
choose from, and no stupid "moderators" to deal with.
